More Leaders Needed in College Coaching

Sample NCAA Division I head coach responses to an email outreach:

Head coach 1: "I'd like to learn more about your app."

Head coach 2: "I didn't ask for this email, take me off the list"

Neither coach has a top 20 team.

Head coach 2's team website is sparsely populated with stats and their team Twitter feed lacks timely and consistently presented dual and match results.

Head coach 1 may or may not use Takedown.

But, that isn't the point. Head coach 1 is a learner.

College wrestling is in dire need of more coach 1, less coach 2 leadership. The sport can't survive with coaches that spend more time polishing their cauliflower ears than they do innovating in all aspects of their program.

We need more CEOs, fewer mat moppers.
